Hawker (Siddeley) Reference thread


Recommended Posts

  • 3 weeks later...

remember, there is masses of information buried right here on Britmodeller, try using google, and add britmodeller into your search  term

 

for NW Europe Hurricane markings this is hard to beat as a primer

Typhoon/Tempest

http://www.boxartden.com/gallery/index.php/Profiles/Camoflage-Markings/04-Hawker-Tornado-Typhoon

this has a Fury section

http://www.boxartden.com/gallery/index.php/Profiles/Camoflage-Markings/05-Gladiator-Gauntlet

 

and here's a selection of Hurricane threads...

I recommend this one as it seems to cause a lot of confusion

http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234980181-hawker-hurricane-propellers-and-spinners-a-modellers-guide/

and it is actually the best reference on the subject that I know of anywhere due to the contributions of other members

note there are a few  headings  which don't have topics,  this is a list I  saved ages ago.

 

some are old, and maybe photobucketed,  try using an embed fix in Chrome or Firefox.

 

I'll add some walkround links later

two of the unrstored Finnish Hurricane here

http://www.pienoismallit.net/galleria/referenssi_1295/

http://www.pienoismallit.net/galleria/referenssi_1536/

lots of detail

http://www.primeportal.net/hangar/mark_hayward/hurricane_mk1_l1592/

L1952,  fabric winged,  hanging up  in science musuem, so  useful underside detail

http://www.primeportal.net/hangar/mark_hayward/hurricane_iia/

A IIB,  (maybe a Canadain XII) not a IIA,  restored,  but a lot of useful detail.  

In markings of  first IIA's   to see service, 111 squadron in Septempber 1940

 

Typhoon

http://www.primeportal.net/hangar/howard_mason2/typhoon_i/

 

Tempest II

http://www.primeportal.net/hangar/bill_spidle5/tempest_mk_ii_la607/

 

lots more Tempest stuff at

http://www.hawkertempest.se/

 

the walkround section has some great material.

 

BM  has some great reference material in the walkround section.   I'll add some  links later
